L.A. not the city...

Hello readers and friends. I wanted to share with you a simple yet very rewarding way to personalize your home. My sister and I recently moved into a very cute apartment, and under a moonlight (not shown), I have placed a small dresser, with some picture frames and decorations. Although I thought that my decorating looked great, I wanted our apartment to have a personal touch. While I was looking online, I saw great mugs at anthropologie.com and had a great idea of putting an L on canvas for Liliana and an A for Alejandra,my sister. Below,  (at the very bottom of the page) is a link to their site and the mugs that inspired me. Although I think their letters are beautiful, I didn't want to make an exact replica of their letters, so I painted the letters for our apartment in my own style. Here are the end results:



I think the A for Alejandra turned out a lot better than my L,and Alejandra thinks it looks like a little Eiffel tower, which makes me love it even more. I think I will make another set of these, with a better L. I can't simply redo the L because the light pink background that I painted the letters on, matches perfectly, and I am too OCD to make a new painting with a different hue of pink.


What do you think about these paintings? Show me what you have come up with. Xoxo, coco,coco, Liliana
